Architecture firm KAA Design, have completed a new modern hillside house in California, that sits on a southern flank of the Santa Monica Mountains, surrounded by trees.

The Tower Grove Drive residence was designed as a hillside retreat for the home owners. Upon arriving at the home, you are greeted by a circular driveway with a central highlighted tree and a stone wall.

The house also has other outdoor spaces, like this one below, that features a small garden with a cheerful sculpture.

Heading back inside, there’s a wood and metal spiral staircase that leads up to the upper floor of the home.

At the top of the stairs is a walkway that connects to the sleeping areas of the home. A large wood bookshelf lines one side of the walkway, while the other looks over the living room and dining area below.
